Disable incremental search for large files?

[khughitt]

After opening a large file (in this case, 61M, uncompressed), attempting to paste a search for any large strings becomes very slow since the search stalls as each new character is added and the search restarts. This happens even when an entire string is pasted in.

Perhaps a quick check against file-size could be made at the time of loading, and, if the file exceeds some (arbitrary, or user-defined) cutoff, incremental search could be disabled by default?

Development of tabview is almost at a stop right now...check out the Visidata project and see if that one meets your needs. I'll leave this open in case someone wants to work on it. Thanks!

@firecat53 Thanks for the heads up! I've used visidata some in the past, but have not used it so much recently. I'll give it another shot.

I appreciate all of your work in the past on tabview! It is a great quick tool and I (still) use it all the time.

Thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated
